# This surgery for pectus excavatum could possibly reduce ur upper ribcage🥴

r/4tran4 • by u/Warm-Adeptness4174 • 134 points

Ravitch procedure, it cuts out some of the cartilage attaching ur ribs to ur sternum. Combining that with ribxcar and basically doing it for upper torso could be possible in the future. I looked and one guy who got it done literally got a reduction in his ribcage breadth without that even being the goal.

It would be insanely expensive and a major surgery so you’d have trouble ever finding a competent team willing to do it but I genuinely believe it could be possible.

All the underbust talk has me extremely wormed

Please tell me someone has that screenshot from the board where its a photo of that asking what exercise he can do to fix it and someone sends a photo of a plunger.

Im too lazy to go find it

u/ttriplegoose • 21 points

oh! i had a severe case and got the ravitch procedure. unfortunately the positives kinda cancel out because living so many years with pectus flares your bottom ribs out in the front and make them look a bit weird, even after surgery.

Many people are saying this

u/Curious_Alien_534 • 15 points

I have pectus. I’m a poon

It’s over

u/PsychologicalTax2674 • 14 points

I have pectus excavatum so this surgery would also simultaneously fix that too lololol.

I feel like the giant scar would be worse to me than either my ribcage dysphoria or any aspect of pectus excavatum.

Ive never actually been insecure about having pectus excavatum but every time I've taken my shirt off or gone swimming I get people that are like holy shit what the fuck is wrong with you.

smol ribcage giant shoulders

u/schizoslut_ • 1 points

u/sidnolfilga • 7 points

yea brain transplant

u/RothaiRedPanda • 10 points

Costal cartilage reduction and rib osteotomies can reduce it. I am working through the details to have this on ribs 6 through 9.

u/Warm-Adeptness4174 • 4 points

Holy ur a god. Who are u consulting with that offers that type of thing currently? I can’t find anything close that isn’t for correcting regular non tranny deformities

Also are they limited at six or can they go higher?

u/RothaiRedPanda • 2 points

Dr Leif Rogers does it. Use rib xcar on 10 to 12 (already did that) then costal cartilage reduction and osteotomies on 6 through 9. You need to call and ask about it. A procedure is in development to do ribs 1 to 5 as well but it's not ready yet. I already have a 30" underbust and I'm 5'8" so I don't think I need 1 to 5 done.

u/Warm-Adeptness4174 • 2 points

Ok damn so it is only him who does anything similar to this. ty

u/RothaiRedPanda • 1 points

As of now to this degree, yes. Others do rib xcar higher up but typically forego the cartilage reduction and that part is very important!

u/TGirlAltAccount • 6 points

Holy shit holy shit need need need need this is going on the list

u/Anon_IE_Mouse • 6 points

Yeah, This is exactly what leif rogers is working on developing, albiet with a better looking scar.

u/Warm-Adeptness4174 • 4 points

Holyyy I’m looking and mf is a delectably mad scientist thank u for putting me on

u/Anon_IE_Mouse • 5 points

Yeah I mean to balance out the mad part he is currently under investigation by the cal medical board because a woman got a deep vein thrombosis after a surgery with him and died. I don’t know if it is totally his fault, but it seems like he didn’t prescribe the proper medication even though she was at risk.

Yep! Access via inframammary fold

There's something else that might help us, I'm going to post a video I saw of a surgeon showing the simulation of costal remodeling in some minutes

u/LockNo2943 • 2 points

Would tbh.

Honestly I just need to get back into corseting and try crushing mine some more.

u/Confident-Variety512 • 1 points

is this going to be trannies’ future version of top surgery scars? (only 1 scar tho)

u/NomadJoanne • 2 points

Um.... I dunno about that. I think it would just push the ribs outwards anteriorly (forwards). So you would have more of a barrel chest.

u/HealingRosy • -9 points

Wait.... I have moderately bad pectus excavatum.

Could I go from an underbust passoid to gigapassoid lmao
